In my opinion and as per my general understanding, the Meher is a valuable in any form as per the ability of the husband given to the wife. (it's indeed a good gesture as the husband should be an able man to look after the wife)

Just to Add:
I was given valuable from my mother in law from the earning of the late father in law which I rejected. I am also in the opinion that I have no demand to request any earning or part of my father’s wealth unless he likes to give some thing for me. I personally have no objection if my father wants to give all his wealth to his other children. This is a policy or a principal of mine.

My parents educated me and given the necessary guidance to grow up & still guiding when necessary. I suppose, this is what all I expect from them. Nothing else.

Above is my personal opinion and just a share of thought.
